Shelfsight. See tomorrow’s shelf today.
The complete demand-forecasting and order-planning system for brands that sell to Amazon. Shelfsight forecasts each product as a range, recommends what to order, and shows what each choice costs in missed sales or excess stock.
The problem
A single-number forecast is always wrong. The question is by how much.
Built for brands that sell to Amazon as a first-party (1P) vendor through Vendor Central.
History hides the truth
Out-of-stock weeks look like low demand and past deals look like real growth, so plans built on raw sales start off wrong.
Uncertainty is ignored
Spreadsheets give one number per week, with no sense of how far reality could land from it, or what that would cost.
Forecast and order are disconnected
Lead times, case packs, minimum orders and shelf life are worked out separately, by hand, after the forecast is done.
How it works
From raw sales to a decision you can defend.
Every step is shown on screen in plain language, so the person presenting the plan can explain every number in it.
-
Bring your data
Sales, inventory and forecast exports from Vendor Central, uploaded as files. Nothing to install and no integration project.
-
Clean the history
Lost sales in out-of-stock weeks are recovered, past deal spikes are separated out, and seasonality is learned per product.
-
Forecast as a range
Each product gets a forecast from P50 to P90, with P70 as the default planning level and upcoming deals and events built in.
-
Decide the order
Recommended orders start from stock on hand and open orders, and respect lead times, case packs, minimum orders and shelf life.
What’s inside
Built for the decisions planners actually make.
Guided, step-by-step pages with a “Start here” page, so directors can use it themselves.
Service or profit
Switch the business objective and watch the recommended order change, with the cost of each choice in missed sales and excess stock.
What-if comparison
Compare scenarios side by side before committing, from a different planning level to a change in lead time.
Amazon PO check
Compare Amazon’s actual purchase order with Shelfsight’s recommendation before you confirm it.
New product launches
Plans for products with no sales history yet, based on similar products and the launch calendar.
Bulk buys and targets
One-off pre-season buys for limited editions, and monthly plans worked back from a revenue target.
Honest backtests
See how the forecast would have done in past weeks, next to a spreadsheet average and standard methods.
Tested on real data
Ranges you can plan against.
We tested Shelfsight’s forecasting engine on 408 real retail products from the public M5 benchmark, held back while it was built.
We don’t claim a magic forecast: its single-number accuracy is on par with a well-tuned standard method. The value is in ranges that hold up and in turning them into the order decision.
